Have a great time.I added some of you on Fitbit! I'm Alissa (email is alissa.belcastro@gmail.com). I'd love to do work place hustle!
I'm getting ready to go on vacation this week. We're flying out tomorrow to San Francisco. The good news is that it'll be a lot of (hilly) walking (we're not getting a car). Bad news is that I know we're going to be stopping at a bunch of not-fantastic food choices places. Hopefully the increase in activity will counteract some of that!Fitness327wk wrote: »Username: Fitness327wk

Exercise:Yes, 30 mins treadmill, 30 mins elliptical, 60 mins weight training, plus more walking.
Comments: Really working on sticking to my goals despite my various other challenges. My eating hasn't been great these last few weeks, but this is week 2 where it's finally getting under control and it appears my weight is responding to that, so I just need to keep control even when I feel like nothing else is within my control....
Glad you are feeling good and getting it under control.1 -

Still have to measure myself but I lost another 2lbs this week. Also just rub BIOFREEZE on both my back and knees but glad I push myself. About to eat lunch and have dinner already in microwave for 4pm then it's pain meds which will knock me out so early day for me. But it was a productive day so still staying positive.Username gjaholy33

🗣Comments/Goals: Tomorrow is my other fasting day. I’ve been getting several messages from concerned MFP friends who think that I am either starving myself or developing an eating disorder bc they do not understand intermittent fasting— it’s with good intentions I am sure, and I take it with a grain, but it is making me understand why some choose to keep their diary private…. It makes me stressed to feel watched and judged like that—much like I felt when I was obese, it’s uncomfortable. Just venting a little—sorry, but it’s part of the emotional side of the journey I think.
Headed home now---picking up son from track practice and then it's crockpot Italian style turkey meatballs with zoodles!! I am soooo hungry!!
OK, so we are more than half way there— we can finish this week off with success people!!
🤗💫HHD!!!🌸💜🌸
Sorry you had to deal with this. I do think it is coming from a good place, but that doesn’t mean it hurts any less. Just try to stay focused on you. Hugs1 -

I've been struggling with motivation in the last week or so. But yesterday, I got a surprise card in the post from my sister. On the front it said "I think you can, I think you can". And on the inside, she'd written: "I'm so proud of you for kicking weight loss *kitten*. I know you can do it. Lots of love."
It nearly made me cry, it was such an unexpected piece of support from out of the blue, so I've stuck it to my fridge to remind me that I have people behind me in this. I hope you all have people supporting you too!
What a great surprise for you!!!0 -

This is our last week of being gone every night with my daughter's activities. Tonight is another out of town volleyball game. Last game of the season. We have softball opening tournament game tomorrow night and then drama play Saturday evening. Volleyball and drama will be done! Yay! This tired mama is so happy.
I've been keeping my calories in check this week after last weekend's food fest. Hoping that tomorrow when I step on the scale the numbers will be good. I'm not expecting a loss, but hoping not to have gained.3 -

That's a great inspiration I got the same for a friend with a donation since she knows how expensive it is to eat healthy and knows I have no income right. Sometimes that little INSPIRATION goes along way to motivate you to keep on going.0 -

UHHHH! I feel like this is the result of eating out for dinner too much. Unfortunately my night events are at restaurants that don't always have the best selection for Healthy foods. Next week will be better! I am also going to start daily check ins, this group helped me the first week and I need to not be so busy not to check in.
Thank you everyone for keeping me accountable!
on a good note: I just accepted a Job that will have me walking a lot more then I am now. Hopefully with the exercise boost will help my weight loss journey.2 -

TODAY'S MOTIVATIONAL TIP: IINTERMITTENT FASTING
So just in case inquiring minds want to know all about what is the intermittent fasting that has been mentioned constantly in this group over the past few months, below are a few more details: (I've been doing this for the past 30 days with my new eating plan and the results are amazing. I still have a long way to go but we each have to find what works for us so I combine my eating plan with the 16:8 fasting plan)
Hope this helps explain things more. Have a productive day and remember we're in this together so any extra feedback is always welcome.
Regards,
Glorious Gloria ❤
